Friends, enjoy hearing from our elders (this time from Lead Elder Dick Parks) periodically so you can get to them and hear their hearts for Rockland (and Christ!)- Jim Spring is finally here, and there are always good and bad things that come with it.

In the midst of a phone conversation with Mean Street and EChO in early 2016, I came to learn that there was a greater need for these items during the months of February and March. What coul...

"We were sent here by the Volunteers of America," she tells me not sure that they will be allowed to stay since they weren't pre-registered.
